How a Solo Founder Built a SaaS With a Fractional COO

In this episode of The Tech Founder Podcast, Lucas and Luna explore how a solo SaaS founder used a fractional COO to scale from $3k to $15k MRR without hiring full-time. They break down the specific arrangement: a 10-hour-per-week engagement with a seasoned operator who handled operations, vendor negotiations, and process documentation. The episode covers the founder's key decision points, the economics of paying $150 per hour for executive-level help, and the concrete results—including a 20% margin improvement in six months. Listeners learn why fractional leadership can be a smarter first hire than a full-time employee for bootstrapped founders. #FractionalCOO #SaaS #Bootstrapped #SoloFounder #Operations #LeanTeam #MRR #Scaling #FractionalExecutives #OutsourcedLeadership #BusinessOps #CostEfficiency #FounderJourney #StartupGrowth #TechPodcast #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
